Asking For A Smile - Poem by Kelly Zion

You walk by me every daybut you don't even look my wayI don't want your money, I'm not asking for your time, I'm not asking for a dime, I'm just asking for a smile.

I tried to smile at you, but I think I've forgotten how toyou see, it's not that I don't care about you, or that I don't have the timeI just haven't laughed for a while, I've forgotten how to smile.

You see, people walk by me every dayand they just turn their heads awaythey don't have time for methey don't give a dimeI'm not asking them to cry, I'm just asking for a smile.

Baby, people walk by me everyday, but you wouldn't turn your head away, you wouldn't turn a heart awayoh, baby, I'm not asking for your time, I don't need to be part of your life, I'm just asking for a smile.

I just need to know that somebody caresthat somebody else is really out therethat this road really leads somewhere, I'm not trying to hitchhike, I'm not trying to hitch a ride, I'm just asking for a smile.

Oh baby, people walk by me everyday, but you're the only one I really needyou're the only one who can rescue me'Cause you're the only one who's really sweet inside, you're the only thing good in this lifebaby, I'm just asking for a smile.
